Whats this aux-01 branch? Anyone know?

That's for an upcoming version of Rust.

hdrp? and also, will the staging oxide version be frequently updated?

hdrp? and also, will the staging oxide version be frequently updated?

No, we generally do not updated for non-release branches due to how frequent they update.

aux01 is the branch where they're testing the new vehicles.

Hi. Any chance to get somewhere or from someone Oxide for Staging aux01 version? I have no idea how can I edit it for this version :-)

I could be wrong but I very much doubt that Oxide is ever available for those staging branches, they are not meant for public usage.

To be fair, i was looking to add / use some plugins on Rust staging Aux01 too, it broke my server when i tried to add the current Oxide version :(

We build for each commit we make, we just don't release. Also, do not expect these to always be up-to-date as we do not keep up with all game commits.

Are the files contained in these folders dropped into the RustDedicated_Data folder, or is the entire folder Oxide.Rust-aux01 required?

Thank you for the reply Wulf, unfortunately I don't quite understand what to do.
I do not know where to place the folder / files from the Aux build folder provided.
The official update is pretty simple just dropping the Rust_Dedicated folder in, I'm not savvy enough to figure out what to do with these files :/

The root folder inside the zip is RustDedicated_Data - you simply unzip it to that folder on your server (overwrite existing files) and restart the server.

Thank you for trying to help guys, I must be missing something and feel this is glaring how ignorant to the subject I am.

After having no signs of life dropping the files in Rust_Dedicated, I installed the current version of umod then installed the Aux01 files overtop. Regardless, I'm unable to shake the NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object error preventing my server from starting. 

Again, when dropping the files provided in the ZIP folder named Aux01, there was no signs of life without the official install first. I understand trying to use the official version only triggers the error above but I did load the Aux01 files after.
